“We are delighted that Voyageur Marine Transport has selected our efficient and reliable GE diesel engine as it brings the Voyageur Independent to state-of-the-art through this repowering project,” said John Manison, manager of GE’s marine diesel business, headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

“This is also a milestone project for GE because this marks the first application of a new GE diesel engine aboard a vessel that operates on the Great Lakes. There are currently several refurbished GE diesel engines providing reliable service on the Great Lakes,” Manison added.
